Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 might feature a character creator

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 is already talked about by the game’s creators. They mention always listening to fan comments and admit that was the reason why they added online multiplayer on Wii and many more characters in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 after Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 on PS2 and Wii. One of the features still missing is a character creator, but that might change in 2008.

To quote Atari producer Donny Clay: “Unfortunately there are some things that are requested by several different fans that we aren’t able to do just yet. For example, one of things we get asked for quite a bit is a completely custom character system from the ground up. Meaning players want to be able to build their own character with their own moves and their own look. This is definitely something I would love to do as well, we just haven’t had the chance to get this into a game yet. Don’t worry though I won’t forget.”

That should come as no surprise since the upcoming Dragon Ball Online MMO game also features a character creator tool that allows you to make your own Saiyan, Human or Namek.

In recent interviews the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 team mentions working on a next-gen game and being a fan of the Xbox 360, so my guess would be that the next DBZ game is coming to not just Wii and PS2, but also Xbox 360 and PS3. Makes sense for them to want to make the graphics look even better and have more online features. Throw in the character creator on top of even more than the 161 characters in the last game and you’ve got yourself Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4.

As the official DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi blog says: “When we’re coming up with a new DBZ game, we first think about what the fans on the forums and message boards have been asking about.” So what do you want in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4?

PS: There’s also a Dragon Ball Z: Budokai “Burst Limit” game in development for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Update May 19th, 2009: After 1.5 years of waiting, the first magazine announcement of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 has been revealed in Japan, where the next Tenkaichi game for Xbox 360 and PS3 is titled Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast!

Update May 27th, 2009: Read the Dragon Ball: Raging Blast official announcement!

Update June 17th, 2009: Watch the first Dragon Ball: Raging Blast trailer!

Update June 23rd, 2009: Check out the Official Dragon Ball: Raging Blast character list so far.

I agree with Alex, if the creators are actually reading this then why havent we heard anything about them coming out with a DBZBT4. Sometimes I wonder why were even writing this stuff. If they are actually reading this this then look at my comment #1244 on page 125. And PLEASE give us some clue to if there will be a BT4.

Dragonballgt king, thats da stupidest thing I ever heard. who would want to waste their time creating over 120 characters. And it’s called AF not AFT. Damn. and the makers already said there would be no af characters in the game.

THE WAY LEGENDS HAD THE MORALE BAR AT THE BOTTOM AND YOU FIGHT TO FILL YOUR COLOR FOR AN ULTIMATE ATTACK WAS FLAWLESS THEY SHOULD BRING THAT BACK YOU COULD DO NORMAL KAMEHAMEHAS BUT TO DO YOUR ULTIMATE YOU FILL THAT BAR. LIKE I SAID B4 THEY NEED TO FOCUS ON PERFECTING THE GAMEPLAY. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ADD TEAM BATTLE IF THEY TAKE THAT FROM LEGENDS. THEY NEVER CAME OUT WITH LEGENDS 2 THEY SHOULD MAKE THAT IN STEAD OF TENKIACHI 4 OR ADD THEM TOGETHER “TENKIACHI LEGENDS 2″

Dbz broly is right, all of the characters he said should appear in bt4.
I also have some ideas that they can put on the game:

1- In DBZBT3 on character selection screen when we pick a character appears custom select, then we choose numbers, in DBZBT4 we should see the customes.

NO MORE NUMBERS WE WANT PICTURES.

2- The afterimage and wild sense is a preset, automatic, dodging system that is Totally Lame.
The real afterimage is used to create a decoy, making the opponent lose their lock-on and wild sense is used to instantly locate the opponent and then dodge with your own skills with out no presing, automatic crap.
Afterimage should be used defensively and also offensively.
It´s better dodging to where you want to appear with your own skills.

3- On DBZBT4 should appear more special attacks, early goku on the saiyan saga when he fights against Raditz piccolo asks to goku if he has some new special attack and he says: “can´t say I do”, but he has the spirit bomb and kaio-ken attack. But I now what they should do, block the attacks he doesn´t do yet and put another speed rush attack and for the final special attack put the super-kamehameha that he used against Junior(”kid piccolo”) on the martial arts tournament.
And then put 2 more special attacks on others if they have.
Why?
Because some characters major strenghts “lie” in their knowledge of tecniques like master roshi, tien and piccolo.

4-Repelling blasts:

First level- repel normal blasts.
Second level- repel bigger blasts.

And what´s the next level?
The next level should be the special blasts using the hiper smash to repel it to wherever you want to go and if you don´t want to send it back to the opponent and send it to your left or right side it should make a beam impact explosion.

5- What about a grapple struggle I mean when they both grab simulaneously, they should put camera angles and whoever wins gets the advantage, it could have extra force exerted, expretions and comebacks.

6- Blast control: if the blast were dodged, how about having the option of bending the beam back giving us another chance to hit the enemy or if the opponent send a blast that will come after us we could run against the opponent and use it on our advantage

7- What´s up with the automatic taunting, that´s wrong we loose the advantage because the opponent can attack us, we should taunt when ever we want.

8- On the martial arts tournament we could make a special blast and blow with the croud that is watching the fight.

9- We could take out the lock-on if we want to and shot special blasts with out being locked to the other opponent because that way we can destroy buildings or mountains shoting a special blast against it.

10- When we go against a building or something else he shouldn´t be destroyed but should make a hole in him and with people inside the building.

11- In the city(s)(if they make two or more but diferent) or another place else there should be people there and when the fight start they should leave.

12- It should have BLOOD when the opponents face up.

13- When two opponents are really strong and there fighting the stage should be piece by piece should be destroyed, and when someone destroys the place it kent be like the other stages when they are destroyed it must be different from the others.

Thank you for reading this and I hope they do this what I just put in here.

Please,please put all of this
